When Inarius was taken captive by Demons during a skirmish, he expected to be destroyed. What good was having the Eye of Anu when you could never really use it before the enemy would come take it from you? What good was fighting a war nobody would ever win? Inarius confided his doubts to Tyrael, his closest friend among the Archangels, but Tyrael’s unshakable belief in justice meant he couldn’t be swayed from supporting the Eternal Conflict. If the angels seized the Pandemonium Fortress the Demons would simply take it back - until the next assault by Heaven managed to do the same. The Eye held a fragment of the creator god’s powers - it could create worlds and warp reality - so the Angels and Demons were locked in combat over it.īut Inarius eventually grew tired of this endless war. This fortress held the last remaining artifact from the period before the creation of Heaven and Hell: the Eye of Anu. Like his brethren, Inarius was dedicated to the war against the Demons and took part in many battles across Pandemonium, as the two sides struggled for control of Pandemonium Fortress. Inarius was a respected Archangel and advisor to the Angiris Council, the ruling body of the High Heavens. Inarius lamented the pointless Eternal Conflict So let’s talk about who Inarius is, how this Archangel became Lilith’s co-conspirator in the struggle to escape the Eternal Conflict, and what role he plays in Diablo 4.

After all, if not for the most infamous deadbeat dad in Sanctuary’s history, humanity as we know it in the game would not exist at all.īut even though Inarius plays a key role in Sanctuary’s history, he’s never actually appeared in a Diablo game before now.

As such, it feels like a good time to examine Inarius, the rebel Angel who helped create Sanctuary, yet has never lavished much love on the people who inhabit his creation - people who descend from him both figuratively and literally.
